Client background

The client is a New York based leading construction consulting service provider. They help real estate developers, contractors, property owners, architects, and civil engineers in filing and obtaining permits for their construction sites. They provide exclusive consultation about city regulations, property compliance & maintenance, and all municipal requirements start from the pre-construction phase to project completion.

Create different jobs to meet the committed timeline

Send emails to the customers about the job progress and application status
